Indaba kaStephen waseHungary
ISonto lisemhlabeni wonke, kepha ukukhuluma kwalo kuhlala kuthonywa, okungcono noma okubi, yisiko lendawo. Awekho amaKristu "ejwayelekile"; kukhona amaKristu aseMexico, amaKristu asePoland, amaKristu asePhilippines. Leli qiniso liyabonakala empilweni kaStephen, iqhawe lesizwe nomvikeli ongokomoya waseHungary.
Wazalwa engumhedeni, wabhapathizwa eneminyaka eyi-10, kanye noyise, umholi weMagyars, iqembu elathuthela endaweni yaseDanube ngekhulu lesi-20. Eminyakeni engama-1001 washada noGisela, udadewabo woMbusi wakusasa, uSant'Enrico. Lapho engena esikhundleni sikayise, uStephen wamukela inqubomgomo yokwenza ubuKrestu izwe ngezizathu zombusazwe nezenkolo. Yacindezela uchungechunge lokuvukelwa yizikhulu ezingamaqaba futhi yahlanganisa amaMagyars aba yiqembu lesizwe eliqinile. Wacela upapa ukuba ahlinzekele ukuhlelwa kweSonto laseHungary futhi wacela nokuthi upapa amnikeze isikhundla sobukhosi. Wathweswa umqhele ngosuku lukaKhisimusi ngo-XNUMX.

Waqeda amasiko obuqaba ngobudlova obuthile futhi wayala wonke umuntu ukuba ashade, ngaphandle kwabefundisi nabenkolo. Kwakutholakala kalula kubo bonke, ikakhulukazi abampofu.
Ngo-1031, indodana yakhe u-Emeric yafa, kwathi ezinye izinsuku zikaStephen yenziwa impikiswano ngaye owalandela yena. Abazukulu bakhe bazamile ukumbulala. Washona ngonyaka we-1038 futhi waqanjwa ohlwini lokubhaliswa kwabafundi, kanye nendodana yakhe, ngonyaka we-1083.
Ukuzindla
Isipho sikaNkulunkulu sobungcwele uthando lobuKrestu ngoNkulunkulu nangobuntu. Kwesinye isikhathi uthando kufanele lube nesici esingemuva kokuhle kakhulu. UKristu wahlasela abazenzisi phakathi kwabaFarisi, kodwa wafa ebathethelela. UPaul wayisusa indoda eyayihlala nezihlobo eKorinte "ukuze kusindiswe umoya wakhe." Amanye amaKristu alwa iMpi Yenkolo ngentshiseko enhle, naphezu kwezisusa ezingafanele zabanye.
Namuhla, ngemuva kwezimpi ezingenangqondo nokuqonda okujulileyo kwesimo esiyinkimbinkimbi sesisusa sabantu, siyahlehla kunoma yikuphi ukusetshenziswa kodlame, okwenyama noma "lokuthula". Lokhu kukhula okunempilo kuyaqhubeka njengoba abantu bephikisana ngokuthi kungenzeka yini ukuthi umKristu abe yishoshovu eliphelele noma ngabe kwesinye isikhathi ububi kufanele buchithwe ngenkani.
